Africa: a continent in development
Africa is the world second-largest and also the second-most populated continent of the world, with around 1.2 billion people. There are only few countries to be avoided. Most of the continent is stable, safe and business is flourishing. The growing middle class in Africa, mostly located in the bigger cities, has substantial purchasing power.
How to find your agent or distributor?
You can divide Africa more or less into 5 regions: the Northern countries around the Sahara, Western Africa, Eastern Africa, Southern Africa and you can see the more developed country South-Africa as a special category. Each of the regions has distinct cultures and opportunities.
Working with local agents or distributors helps you overcome the language and cultural barrier. Although English is commonly spoken, most of the population prefers to speak their local language.
